September 14, 1995 MEMORANDUM TO:

Chairman Jackson Commissioner Rogers FROM:

James M. Taylor gr&AedY Executive Director for Operatio gesiaTaylor SUBJECT; ESTABLISHMENT OF OCONEE EVENT REVIEW TEAM On March 8, 1995, Institute of Nuclear Power Operations (INPO) President Mr.

Zack Pate, informed me that he believed an NRC Resident Inspector exceeded his regulatory authority by taking over operational control of the recovery actions associated with the steam generator dryout event at Oconee Unit 3, following a reactor trip on August 10, 1994. In response to INPO's concerns, I directed the staff to conduct an independent review of the issues involved with this event and informed Mr. Pate of the results in a letter dated July 10, 1995.

Recently, Mr. Pate informed me that INPO has continuing concerns regarding the circumstances surrounding the reactor trip and the subsequent recovery actions. In light of these concerns, I have directed NRR to form an event review team to conduct an indepth evaluation of the licensee's and the staff's activities related to this event. A copy of the team's charter is enclosed.
